Individual Details
Daniel de La Chaumette
(Abt 1628 - 1686)
Among the ardent Protestants or Huguenots in France was the family de la Chaumette (some spell it Chaunnette). They lived in Rochechouart and neighboring towns as early as the mid-1500s. There is documentation noting that a gathering was held in Rochechouart in 1619 attended by seven members of the de la Chaumette family. The Archives in Limoges contain several references to the de la Chaumette Family: Jean de la Chaumette was named consul in Rochechouart on 22 Feburary 1642. Jean de la Chaumette, son of Junien de la Chaumette was named collector on 22 Feb 1643. Among the taxpayers were Anne de la Chaumette and Jean de la Chaumette, shearer and serge maker.
In "The Communal Life of Rochechouart" by Dr. O. Marquet, 1900, there is mention of Jean de la Chaumette, consul, in 1612, 1615, 1624; Pierre d el la Chaumette, consul in 1616; Merigot de la Chaumette, clerk and tenant farmer; Etinne de la Chaumette, consul in 1608 and 1625. Dr. Marquet 's "Historical Documents of Rochechouart and Bienac", 1908, lists Theodore de la Chaumette as pastor of Maringues. In the 1972 edition of this work, Jean de la Chaumette is listed as the keeper of the seal for the King of France in 1312 and Junien de la Chaumette was notary in 1572.
The Labrunye Family records contain references to the de la Chaumettes. " On Monday, 23 March 1653, at three hours afternoon, members of the congre gation of Rochechouart sent a request to the pastor of the town of Saint-Cloud to officiate at the weddings of David and Pierre de la Chaumette, brothers, and of Claude de la Chaumette, possibly a cousin. When the people were assembled, Madame the Marquise of Pompadour arrived unexpectedly and with the aid of her servants stopped the ceremonies. The marriages were performed the following Wednesday. The Congregation resolved that a man should be sent to Paris immediately to complain about the disruption. They chose Daniel de la Chaumette, a lawyer, to carry out the plan."
On Sunday, 19 October 1653, the Prostestans assembled as usual at the church for prayers. When Seigneur Pompadour learned of this he went directly to the house of Jean de la Chaumette where he encountered Theodore de la Chaumette, a minister, and struck him three blows with his sword. Theodore managed to escape with his life. He was pastor at Marinques in Auvergne and it was by chance that he was visiting with his family on this day."
On 26 August 1681, an official list was drawn up of those who were worshipping in Rochechouart. Clovis Palazy, pastor, and Pierre de la Chaumette, apothecary were named along with 41 others, seven of whom were de la Chaumettes. On 20 October 1648 the Edict of Nantes was revoked, resulting in renewed persecution of the Huguenots. Some paid the price of renouncing their faith for the right to remain in their homes. Others chose exile. Pastor Clovis Palazy left for England with a little group in which there were three brothers, members of the de la Chaumette family. Nothing more was ever heard from them."
In "The Shumate Family" by Theodore-Friedrich Von Stauffenberg, 1964, he states on page 5 that Jean's father Daniel, an Attorney, and his mother seems to have been a daughter of Joseph Fourgeaud.

Daniel De La Chaumette was a barrister (lawyer).
The marriage of Daniel and Marie Aucouturier De La Chaumette, on April 30, 1653, cannot be found in the Second Register of Baptisms, Marriages, and Deaths of the Protestant Church of Rochechouart. This couple had to leave Rochechouart and hold their wedding in the community of La Suderie, because of the relentless vindictiveness of Marquise Marie de la Pompador de Rochechouart.
